This weekend Rob finally went with me to see Return of the King. And what does he do? Express desire to see the outtakes from several different scenes, such that now I have to see the movie again without him to purge his evil, chuckle-inducing comments from my mind.
Sunday I really wanted to redo my upstairs bathroom floor. I'm not sure where the desire came from, but there I was after breakfast wandering the aisles of Home Depot, picking up a new vinyl, some caulk, and a new wax ring for the toilet that would have to be unbolted from the floor so I could vinyl beneath it. I got a nice 6x9 roll of grey-blue-green slatey looking vinyl for $16.
While I was vinyling, Rob was playing EQ. He did come up to help me unbolt one side of the toilet from the floor; the bolt had somehow slipped and we needed to dremel it off. Then he went back down to play and I scraped, utility knifed, glued and caulked away till the new floor was in :) Other than my aching shoulders, tender knees, and some odd muscle aches in my thighs, I feel pretty good about having done this project in a day. Rob helped me put the toilet back onto the wax ring last night, and I set up the shower curtain on the new sage green rod I got to sort of go with the floor.
The bathroom looks really nice, other than where I had an unsteady hand caulking it. Rob said I wouldn't need a caulking gun, but I wish I had had one. Using a squeeze tube of caulk was like trying to free-hand write "Happy Birthday" on a very, very large cake.
